It was getting late.
Annabel was busy packing in her room when she suddenly heard a cough by the door.
Raising her head, she found Rupert standing at the doorway.
Leaning against the door frame, he was wearing a casual, white robe, which made him look less indifferent and alienating.
Seeing this, Annabel was stunned for a second.
Noticing that she was staring at him wordlessly, Rupert cracked a smile.
"Am I that good-looking?"
"Rupert, how long have you been standing there?"
Blushing slightly, Annabel came to her senses and ignored his question.
Rupert straightened up and walked in.
"Are you done packing?"
"Almost."
Annabel nodded, gesturing at her luggage.
Truth be told, there wasn't much that she needed to pack.She just needed to bring a few daily necessities.
"Remember to get up early tomorrow," Rupert said.
"Okay."
Just then, Rupert's phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, he found that it was Judson calling, the director of the branch factory in France.
Rupert answered the phone briskly.
"Judson, what's up?"
"Mr.Benton, we've found out that the defective jewelry was produced in No.1 factory,"
Judson’s voice came from the other end of the line.Rupert's expression darkened.
"So, the problem is within No.1 factory?"
"Yes.I've already sent someone to look into it.The results should be available by tomorrow."
